With Kansas City up 4–2, Ben Zobrist was intentionally walked and Bartolo Colón replaced Reed. Cain then hit a bases loaded double against Colón to push the score to 7–2. Hochevar was credited with the win and Wade Davis retired the last three outs of the Series. The Kansas City Royals are the first team since the 1989 Oakland Athletics to win the World Series a season after losing the World Series the previous year. They also are the first American League team since the 1961 New York Yankees to win a World Series a year after losing Game 7 of the World Series. Clayton Kershaw finally came through the postseason, holding the New York Mets to just one run on three hits over seven innings, and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3–1 win at Citi Field.
Holt, who is batting leadoff and playing at second base in the absence of injured Dustin Pedroia, doubles in the first inning, singles in the fifth, crushes a solo home run in the seventh, and finishes off the cycle with an RBI triple in the eighth. The last Red Sox player to accomplish the feat was John Valentin on June 16, 1996. Holt becomes one of 14 players this season to accumulate 10 total bases in a single game and is also the first player to hit for the cycle against the Braves since Keith Hernandez of the New York Mets on July 4, 1985. Holt had already entered the Red Sox record book last season by becoming the first Boston player to start games at seven different positions.

Rizzo had the unfortunate distinction of being the test dummy for the night. The Cubs first baseman was the first player to try his hand at the newly installed Home Run Derby format, and he came away with the lowest single-round total of the night. Looking at Michael Taylor's wiry, 6-foot-3 frame, you may wonder how he was able to muscle a ball out of the park like that. Of course, what you're missing is that Taylor is actually composed primarily of homer-hitting quantum particles. After a difficult rookie season in 2014, Schoop battled injuries, but still blasted 15 home runs and had the 7th-highest OPS among second baseman with at least 300 PAs. Oh yeah, he also had the longest home run by a second baseman by, like, a lot.
It was developed to make the game easier to play for players and to improve their throwing accuracy. Although the approval was obtained, production delays forced Rawlings to use older balls. Because the Rawlings ROMLB baseball is meticulously crafted with the finest materials, and every piece is assembled, weighed, measured, tested, and inspected for the highest level of consistency and quality. On March 22, 2022, Correa signed a three-year contract worth $105.3 million with the Minnesota Twins. The $35.1 million average annual salary became the highest for an infielder, topping Anthony Rendon's $35 million annual salary, and was the fourth-highest salary in the AL.

The main issue with "Home Run Showdown" is simply its level of "cheesiness." Specifically, the film contains poor dialog and lacks plot depth. However, the cinematography is decent and the acting is as good as can be expected for second tier actors, given the script. The film is predictable, but does produce some good laughs throughout. And though the movie is somewhat silly, it does offer several valuable lessons for youth.
But Vólquez limited the damage to one run, striking out Yoenis Céspedes and allowing a sacrifice fly RBI to Lucas Duda before retiring Travis d'Arnaud on a third base ground ball, keeping the Royals well within striking distance. Harvey took the mound for the ninth with his pitch count at 102 and the Mets leading 2–0. Up to that point, Harvey's line was four hits with nine strikeouts and one walk. Harvey proceeded to walk leadoff batter Lorenzo Cain, who subsequently stole second base and scored on an RBI double by Eric Hosmer. Mets manager Collins then summoned Jeurys Familia to close out the game, but with Hosmer at third base and one out, Pérez hit a soft ground ball to third, with the infield in, and Wright looked Hosmer back to third and threw to first for the out. But Hosmer bounced around third the whole play, waited for Wright to make the throw and he bolted for home.

On October 30, New York will host Kansas City in the first World Series game to be played at Citi Field ballpark. Forty-one of the 51 teams to take 2-0 leads in a best-of-seven World Series have gone on to win the title, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. October 31 – The Kansas City Royals capitalized an error by New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy, and rallied for three runs in the eighth inning for a 5–3 victory at Citi Field and a 3-1 World Series lead. The Royals insurgence against relievers Tyler Clippard and Jeurys Familia wasted a pair of home runs hit by Michael Conforto and a strong start from Steven Matz, to put the Mets on brink of elimination. Besides Murphy's blunder and bullpen's fault, outfielder Yoenis Céspedes struggled in every aspect of the game. Kansas City closer Wade Davis came on in the eighth inning to register a six-out save, and Salvador Pérez went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored.
Correa went 3-for-5 in Game 5 including an RBI double and one of the five home runs by the Astros helping them beat the Dodgers 13–12. His effort helped setting the new record of most total home runs in a World Series. The game lasted over five hours, becoming the second-longest World Series game in history. The Astros won the World Series in Game 7 giving them their first title in franchise history. November 19 – Jim Stump, 83, relief pitcher and Korean War veteran, who posted a 1-0 record with a 2.02 ERA for the Detroit Tigers in part of two seasons spanning 1957–1959, while compiling an overall record of with a 3.66 ERA in 287 minor league games between 1951 and 1961. November 9 – Tommy Hanson, 29, starting pitcher who posted a record with a 3.61 ERA in four seasons for the Atlanta Braves, who played a key role in helping the 2010 team return to the postseason for the first time since 2005.
On October 4, 2022 Aaron Judge hit his 62nd homerun of the year off Jesús Tinoco of the Texas Rangers passing Roger Maris for the AL home run record 61 years after Maris set it and making him only the sixth person to hit at least 60. Even though Mercer's Kyle Lewis had the most home runs this season of anyone in the competition, Zack Collins gets a slight edge for the favorite to win because his 15 homers came against tougher opponents in the ACC. If you have a lot of baseballs, you may want to consider storing them in a closet or on a shelf. In the late 1800s, baseballs were made of hand-stitched leather and were very difficult to keep intact throughout an entire game.
Having also hit three home runs against the Chicago Cubs on May 7, 2008 and the Washington Nationals on May 13, 2012, Votto joins Johnny Bench as the only players with three three-home run games in a Cincinnati Reds uniform. At Safeco Field, Félix Hernández of the Seattle Mariners records his 2,000th career strikeout after striking out Sam Fuld in the fifth inning of a 4–3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Only Walter Johnson, Sam McDowell and Bert Blyleven, who were all 28 when they struck out 2,000, reached the milestone at a younger age than Hernández at 29 years, 32 days old. Hernāndez improves to 6–0 and ties with Bartolo Colón for the most wins in the season, while his eight strikeouts on May 4 against the Angeles Angels push him past the 1,988 strikeouts of Johan Santana to give him the most by a Venezuelan-born pitcher. Hernández was the fourth-youngest to reach 1,000 strikeouts on August 25, 2010. May 9 – Bryce Harper continues his torrid home run pace with a dramatic two-run, walk-off shot in the ninth inning to send the surging Washington Nationals to an 8–6 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Duda took the throw for the second out but his relay to the plate was wide right, pulling d'Arnaud away from the play and allowing Hosmer to score the tying run. With both teams tied at 2–2, the game went into extras innings, and the Royals took control in the top of the 12th scoring five runs. Pérez started with a leadoff single off losing pitcher Addison Reed, while pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole second and moved to third on a grounder.
Additionally, the Red Sox sport a collective 4.86 ERA, the second highest in the major leagues (the Colorado Rockies have the highest at 5.38). Nieves joined the Red Sox prior to the 2013 season, and he helped lead the resurgence of starters Jon Lester (15-8), Clay Buchholz (11-1) and Félix Doubront (11-6) en route to the 2013 World Series championship. Overall, the staff posted a 3.79 ERA in 2013, the lowest mark for the club since 2002 (3.75 ERA), and also set a single-season franchise record with 1,294 strikeouts. The surprising Houston Astros won their 10th straight game, boosting the best record in the American League by beating the Seattle Mariners, 7–6, at Minute Maid Park. At 18–7, Houston set a team record for its best mark through the first 25 games.
